3. Raleigh 555 was a chromium-molybdenum tubeset. Reynolds only chromium-molybdenum tubeset at time was Reynolds 531.
But wasn't Raleigh USA owned by Huffy at the time? I had heard that the "Raleigh 555" tubing was just Asian CrMo. (And 531 is MANGANESE-Molybdenum, not CrMo. Maybe the OP meant to say "Reynolds' only CrMo was
501?)
